Sometimes it’s not practical for a client to meet me at his home or his place of business, but rather to meet at another location (such as a Starbucks, a pizza place or other restaurant, etc.). This is fine, but there are a few things to consider when doing this:
Try to meet where you can get a table and chairs, so that you and your client can sit comfortably during the notarization. Most Starbucks have very small tables, but that’s still plenty good enough.
Make sure you don’t use tables and chairs that paying customers might be waiting for. If you’re there for more than a few minutes, it’s a nice gesture on your part to make a purchase (it can be something inexpensive, like a cup of coffee or similarly small item) as a way of showing your appreciation to the establishment for allowing you to conduct your business on their premises.
If you and your client must stand, try not to get in the way of customers and employees. Try to find a spot as out of their way as possible, and always defer to their needs.
If the location is intended to be a relatively “quiet place” (like a library), keep your voice down. You can perform your notarizations without being loud and disturbing others.
Following these - and other - simple rules of common sense and courtesy can allow you to perform your mobile notary work just about anywhere, with minimal inconvenience to you and your clients, and minimal intrusion upon others.
